Creating a Family has developed an evidence-based, specialized training aimed at increasing child welfare professionals’ knowledge of prenatal substance exposure and enhancing their confidence in supporting affected children and their foster, adoptive, and kinship parents.

Through Creating a Family’s Prenatal Substance Exposure Training for Child Welfare Staff, participants will be able to recognize the prevalence of prenatal substance exposure in the child welfare system, identify symptoms associated with prenatal substance exposure, and be able to identify strategies to support children from infancy to young adulthood. Creating a Family provides access to a resource library, including resources in Spanish, during and after attending the sessions. This is an interactive, 4-hour training split into two (2) sessions.

Our upcoming training is being offered for free, courtesy of our partner Jockey Being Family®.
